About The Tour

A sunset atop Haleakala — known as house of the sun in Hawaiian — is pure magic. You’ll be walking on sunshine, that is of course until the stars come out.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

•⁠ Watch the sunset atop Mt. Haleakala
•⁠ Look for constellations at Haleakala's summit
•⁠ Hike the Hosmer Grove or Sliding Sands trails
•⁠ Visit a lavender or dairy farm
•⁠ Walk through historic Makawao Town

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

No, the tour starts and ends in Kahului. If you’d like to begin this tour at Haleakala National Park you can join the tour along the route, but you’ll miss out on some stories.

It depends on the time of year, but sunset in the winter (October-March) is between 5:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. and in the summer (April-September) it’s between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. We recommend you double check the night before your visit.

Please note, if you’re staying in West Maui at one of the resorts in Lahaina, Kaanapali or Kapalua it takes about 45 minutes to reach the start of the tour in Kahului and then, depending on the stops you make, it takes about 2-3 hours to reach the summit. This tour is designed with no stops on the way back with the expectation you’ll be driving at night.

Mahalo,

Shaka Guide

Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works:


  • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
  • The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.

Pretty cool huh? We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.

Fantastic audio guide !!!

So easy to use and made our Road to Hana drive so much more enjoyable. Will definitely be looking for other guided trips of theirs!

Our Road to Hana would not have been as wonderful and productive if it weren’t for the Shaka Guide. It made things so easy and less stressful. We stopped where we wanted and the guide was very explicit and timely in the directions and what to expect. Well worth the cost!!

Referred by a friend for the Road to Hana in Maui and we could not have been more impressed. It made the drive/journey so enjoyable, sightseeing like a pro and learning about the history of Maui and our surroundings. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like without it! Would recommend this to anyone, and hope to try other tours in the future!

Shaka guide for Maui was perfect for our trip on the Road to Hana! The app interfaces well with navigation so we didn’t have to touch our phones while driving. The stops were described early enough that we were able to make decisions on if we wanted to stop or keep driving. The history lessons on the way back were helpful to keep us awake on the drive back!

This was a must have for this trip. Worked great even with no cell signal.

We originally bought it for the Road to Hana tour and tried it out in Hawaii. Pretty quickly, we got hooked on the narration and the way it brings the surrounding landscape to life with interesting geographical insights while you drive. It was an easy decision to upgrade to the full version—and now, whenever we visit a national park, we make sure to have a tour ready to go so we can learn as we explore.

We used this app for tours both on Maui and Ohau. The app was absolutely worth the price of the tours. Im looking forward to trying it for tours on the mainland. The guides were well thought out and the info along the drive was fantastic. Strongly recommend the reverse road to Hana.

We have loaded the driving tours for all the islands. Taken on Oahu, Maui and Kauai so far. The best tour ever found. I love the history and all the sights.

Took 5 tours: all were interesting and informative. Best of all, the directions were spot on! Only negatives: quite a few of the recommended places to stop were closed (Sunday, Monday, before 10.30am, after 4pm). Some also needed advanced booking which was not apparent until arriving at the sight!
